What does it mean that Samson “bowed with all his strength”?

Judges 16:30 (ESV)

30 And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” Then he bowed with all his strength, and the house fell upon the lords and upon all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he had killed during his life.

Bowing with all his strength here means that he stretches out with all his strength, leaning upon the two central pillars.
